Conner Marden tossed two touchdown passes to William Kehoe and Keeen Burns, and rushed for over 100 yards as the five-time reigning champion Padres won their 35 straight MTAL game.

Holden Smith also rushed for over 100 yards and scored a touchdown for Carmel, who built 28-0 halftime lead on the host Mustangs.

North Salinas 68, Pajaro 20

There something about Watsonville High that the Vikings offense must like.

Last year it produced 50 points in a loss. This time the Vikings erupted for the most points in the Steve Zenk era in a Monterey Bay League Pacific Division opening win.

North Salinas (3-2) has its first three-game winning streak since 2008.

Justyn Gutierrez got the Vikings on the scoreboard 50 seconds into the game with a touchdown pass to Jacob Robante.

GIRLS TENNIS

Carmel 4, Stevenson 3

Carmel is now 2-0 against Stevenson this season thanks to the Padres' clean sweep in doubles action.

Seniors Juan Montellano and Servando Perez each scored goals to lead the Cal State Monterey Bay men's soccer team to a 2-0 victory over San Francisco State Friday afternoon at the Otter Sports Complex.

The Otters (5-3-1, 3-3-1 CCAA) picked up their third conference victory to move into the top spot in the CCAA North Division alongside Sonoma State. The Seawolves tied with No. 18 Cal State L.A. Friday in Rohnert Park.

"It was a good conference win for us," said CSUMB Head Coach Rob Cummings. "Juan had a great goal to start things off. He has had to deal with some personal items recently, so the goal was even more special."

Sophomore Evan Drake earned his third shutout of the season while recording just one save. The Otters outshot SF State 11-5 with seven coming in the second half.

Montellano notched his first goal of the season in the 25th minute when he ripped a shot from 20 yards out into the far corner. Juniors Andreas Gronvik and George Plakorus each recorded assists.

"The game changed when SFSU was issued a red card after Juan's goal," Cummings said. "At times, it's hard playing a man up and keeping the focus especially when the card happens really early in the game. I thought we did a good job with being patient today while communicating more."

CSUMB got some insurance in the 51st minute when Perez took a pass from Gronvik and half volleyed to the side netting. Junior Max Madrigal was also credited with the assist.

"Servando's goal was big and helped us to relax," Cummings said. "SFSU is a good team that has some good wins against Cal State LA and Cal State Stanislaus.

"So we will enjoy this and get ready for San Bernardino on Sunday."

The Otters close out the weekend against the Coyotes with an 11:30 a.m. start on Sunday.

WOMEN'S SOCCER

CSUMB 1, San Francisco State 0

Junior Jami Murray's scored her fifth goal in as many games to lead the Cal State Monterey Bay women's soccer team to a 1-0 victory over San Francisco State Friday afternoon.

"We battled as a team today," said CSUMB Head Coach Erin Reinke. "We are starting to do the little things that are important to perform at a high level."

The Otters improve to 4-4-1 overall and 3-3-1 in conference play while the Gators fall to 2-5-2, 1-5-1 in CCAA action.

Murray's goal in the 60th minute proved to be the game-winner. The midfielder hooked the ball to the right side past the outstretched arm of keeper Allison Land on a free kick from 25 yards out.

"Jami has been our scoring rock so far this season, but we hope others will step up and follow her lead soon," Reinke said.

"The program will make history again this season because each game we are taking away learning lessons to make us better."

It was Murray's seventh goal of the season, tying Alyssa Matheson (2006) in the CSUMB season record books.

CSUMB keeper Lily Garza earned her second shutout of 2013, racking up five saves.

The Otters outshot SF State 13-8 with a 6-2 corner kick advantage. Senior Chelsea Strange led CSUMB with four shots, two of them being on target.

"Today's game is a good example of how tough our conference really is," Reinke said. "Every game is so important to get as many points as possible."

The Otters return to action on Sunday, hosting Cal State San Bernardino at 2 p.m.
